How Normative enables businesses to calculate, report, and reduce their carbon emissions.
Normative is sharing its methodology, leading the way to increased transparency in carbon accounting.
In a unique move in the industry, we have published a whitepaper on the Normative carbon accounting methodology.
This whitepaper explains in detail the fundamentals of corporate carbon accounting and outlines Normative’s proprietary implementation of the GHG Protocol.
Carbon calculations are only as good as the data and methods used to generate them. By sharing our methodology we aim to provide transparency, further support the auditability of our calculations, and demonstrate how Normative establishes a new level of scientific accuracy in emissions accounting.
